(11.24.20)
Warm water laps at my feet
The waves invite me:
Join us; you will be free
The seashells lay down on the sand
Telling me:
Stretch out next to us, and stay
White froth floats, tickling my toes
A friendly greeting is spoken:
Hello, how are you?
The damp sand clings to my bare skin
Asking what my choice is:
To stay, or be free?
